Amino Acids are fundamental to the human body and construct proteins. When chemically united with fatty alcohol or fatty acid, they have cleansing properties and maintain their mild amphoteric character. Amino Acids are known to moisturize by enhancing the skin's water retention.

I use to use this shampoo many years ago and would like to try it again. I also used to use the olive fruit oil nourishing shampoo but the last bottle I bought I can no longer use because it makes my hair too greasy.

Again this is just an attempt to lighten up my shampoo regimen to see if it helps my delicate hair, which seems to be doing its own menopausal thing ! (See answer to Damage Repairing & Rehydrating Conditioner).

Best Answer:The product has sodium coco sulfate which can be damaging to people with colored hair based on my research and talking to my hair stylist. It is a coconut derived surfactant but still a sulfate, hence this shampoo is not sulfate free.

Does this product contain sulfates or sodium chloride? I have keratin and I'm supposed to avoid sulfates, I used this shampoo once and it was great, but I don't want to keep using it if there are sulfates or sodium in it. Thank you.

No it does not contain sodium laureth sulfate. It is the best shampoo I have ever used in my life. If smells wonderful and my hair feels so clean. I highly recommend this shampoo to everyone.Laura Thomas

I have my hair colored every 4-5 weeks at the beauty salon. I have been using Kiehl's Amino Acid Shampoo exclusively for probably ten years. If I try something different when on vacation, I always come back to my Amino Acid Shampoo. It leaves my hair clean, shiny and it behaves beautifully.

I have been using this product for many years, and it is the only shampoo I use. However, my hair is not and never has been dyed. The closest I could relate to is the sun bleaching that takes place each summer from my many hours at the beach.

Why don't they stock the 33 oz pump bottle?! It is so easy to use and I have the room as do many others. I am told by today by my local Kiehl's store and says it doesn't sell well. However, she said that whenever they some in, people hoard them and are sold out again immediately. Also sold out on website. Why, why, why?

is this shampoo sulfate and silicone free? I have very fine hair but much of it. I am looking for a shampoo that will make my hair healthy but give me volume. I have used the wheat and rice shampoo but is does not do the job for me.

Best Answer:The label states that this shampoo is silicone and paraben free. As Michael says above, there is sodium coco sulfate. I buy this product along with the Amino Acid Conditioner for my 19 year old son. He finds them both excellent and his hair looks thick and lustrous.

Can this shampoo be used with hair that is Brazilian Keratin straightened?Thank you.

Best Answer:I am not sure about using this on treated hair. I assume it would be ok, as it fortifies your hair, but my advice is to ask a Kielh's specialist at the store to make sure that this is the right product for you. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Best Answer:I have a similar description of my hair and scalp -- oily scalp with dry and lots of fine hair. Kiehl's Amino acid Shampoo has been my shampoo of choice for quite some time now. I find that the delicate fragrance and the generous lather makes shampooing a pleasant experience for me. I I don't find it necessary to use the companion conditioner. But I always find my hair easy to manage and receive many compliments for having a health shine. One of my friends also uses the Amino Acid Shampoo and loves it. She has a completely different type of hair than mine. So I would say it works for a wide range of hair textures.

My scalp get oily however, my ends are a little dry. I wash my hair every 2 days b/c of this. Which shampoo would work better - Amino Acid or Olive Fruit Oil Nourishing Shampoo? I want my hair to flow softly and not feel weighed down.

Best Answer:I've used this shampoo for almost 8 years. I have long hair and I tend to have a dry scalp so I only wash my hair every other day. I've found this shampoo does not dry out my hair or cause oily build-up on my scalp. I occasionally switch out for a week but this is my forever-standard!

I once tried the Olive Fruit shampoo but felt it made my scalp too oily, felt I needed to wash more hair daily with it.

That said, I do love their olive fruit conditioner over others, though if you tend to get an oily scalp you might want to try something else.

hello i'm wondering that i have fine and thin hair. my scalp gets greasy but my hair is dry due to the perm....would it help volumize my hair at the same time not drying it out? thanks

Best Answer:Hi, I recently purchased this product and have fine, thin hair. I do not have a perm, but I do have highlights. I found the shampoo to clean my hair nicely without it feeling weighed down or dried out. It is not exactly volumizing, but not heavy. I also love the scent. I hope this helps.

Best Answer:Since all of their products are aimed to be natural - I wouldn't think twice not too. It would be great to start children on skincare and hair products that are good for them. Plus it smells great!!

I have fine silver hair and have been using shampoo formulated for white hair to remove the bluish tint that may occur with some shampoos. I would like to alternate shampoos and was wondering if Kiehls would be a good one to try? And I need a conditioner that does not build up and weigh down my hair which tends to happen because of the fineness of my hair. Thanks for your help. I use other Kiehls' products and simply love them.

Best Answer:I have dark hair so I am not sure about the bluish tint you are speaking of. I know that I love the way this shampoo makes my hair feel. Nice and soft and does give it brighter color. Been using it for years. I hate using any other shampoo.

Best Answer:Amino acids ( /??mi?no?/, /??ma?no?/, or /?æm?no?/) are molecules containing an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side-chain that is specific to each amino acid. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen. They are particularly important in biochemistry, where the term usually refers to alpha-amino acids.
